You will laugh, you may cry, but you’ll definitely enjoy it." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d4a91e7131a5426d109378/1507212443524-WXWPP3OKUO7ME4EOIWYA/GetFileAttachment.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d4a91e7131a5426d109378/1507194777320-N2IE14DYGA8T9XS09AB4/_MG_0134.jpg Home '' Curtis recalls her emotional trauma in language that avoids all poetic description or easy cliche." - The Irish Times   "Curtis speaks in a clear language which avoids clichés, and her description of the isolating landscape of grief is recognisable even to those who have never actually been in it." - Meg.ie   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d4a91e7131a5426d109378/1507115338457-3GGQFUG4JJYLBOBECU2Z/image-asset.jpeg Home - SELFIE Selfie is a spoken word piece about mental health.

The piece I am performing in these images is entitled ÓICHE WHA. My work is rooted in experience not only of mine but those around me. It is based around social issues that react to what is happening now. I had been attacked in Dublin the year previous and ÓICHE WHA was born of that event, and street harassment against women. You can listen to an interview about my attack on The Ryan Tubridy Show here or read about it on Joe.ie here. My most recent outing with LIVESTOCK was a piece entitled COME TOGETHER. It was a modern day hymn. I gathered the audience around in a circle and brought them on a guided meditation through a spoken word piece I had written for the occasion. You can read about the event here. I will be working alongside LIVESTOCK in 2018 and am very excited to be presenting work with them again.

It was one of those nights in Dublin where no one knew what to do so everyone did everything, and Dame streets dripping in threat. A twisted twenty minute walk home turns nasty when three women, sick of the show us your tits, and the stupid bitches, call a stranger out for using his rapey language towards them. OICHE MHAITH is a poem, we want to turn it into an audio and visual experience, taking it from the page to the stage. Bringing the audience on the staggered journey home from a night out in the city centre. This piece lives in an era of METOO. It is calling out the street harassment that is rife and getting worse. It needs to be exposed and it needs to stop. OICHE MHAITH is a gay bashing in post YES EQUALITY Ireland. OICHE MHAITH is raw, it’s a fact women face and fear walking home after a night out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d4a91e7131a5426d109378/1693927695310-0QDVD466PX5QUR2T7ZDE/DAY3.jpg Home https://vickeycurtis.com/about daily 0.75 2017-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d4a91e7131a5426d109378/1507124798043-9ONEAOVBJPFHM3XGO1HI/Vickey+Curtis.jpg About https://vickeycurtis.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2017-10-04
